Lucite
is a synthetic polymer of methyl methacrylate, a thermoplastic
and transparent plastic. Lucite is extremely hard and durable
and because it is often clear it simulates glass.

Example
Lucite is a versatile material that has many uses. Some sex toys are
made of Lucite such as the Juno Pelvic Exerciser. Commonly used for
constructing residential and commercial aquariums, spectator protection
in ice hockey stadiums and in motorcycle helmet visors.
Allergy
Or Toxin Warnings
Nontoxic in this form. Phthalate free.
Cleaning
Recommendations
Smooth and nonporous, Lucite is easy to clean with soap & water or
antibacterial sex toy cleaners. The material very strong and is nearly
indestructible. However, be careful putting it on abrasive surfaces
as Lucite is easily scratched.
Lubricants
Waterbased & Silicone.
Recycling
Level
Lucite plastic is not easily recycled. It is considered a group 7
plastic among recycled plastics and is not collected for recycling
in most communities. Large pieces can be reformed into other useful
objects if they have not suffered too much stress, crazing, or cracking,
but this accounts for only a very small portion of the plastic waste.
In a landfill, lucite plastics, like many other plastics, are not
readily biodegradable. Some lucite plastics are highly flammable and
must be protected from sources of combustion.
